EXCELLENT PROPAGATION ON 11 MHz

 

EXCELLENT PROPAGATION ON 11 MHz

 

Did you know that Australia is a BIG COUNTRY? HF reception conditions vary significantly across our "Land of Sweeping Plains", even within the same city or town!

 

Here in suburban Melbourne, propagation continues to be excellent on those bands which are "open", consistent with prevailing ionospheric conditions.

 

The pre-sunrise window is good, with solid signals from 90 through to 22 metres. The 49, 41, 31, 25 and 22 mbs are dominated by darkness-mode transmissions from Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia.

 

This is a summary of key occupancies found on Sep 1 2015 in the window  1830 to 1900.

* Kirundi services from VOA-Vatican (SMG) and BBC-Yerevan simultaneously

* Time-shifted (30 mins) transmissions of VOK resulting from the introduction of new local times there
